Clicking in #04 - Don't Lose Focus on Yourself
Assalamualaikum w.b.t. and Greetings.
Once, Simon was focused on the promotion he aimed for. Day and night, it is evident that he worked hard to attain that goal. He interacts with stakeholders, owns numerous big business concepts and projects, and is proactive and diligent. If one were to say, a promotion or a salary bump would come for him soon. There are also plans and discussions he has held with the managers to ensure he can obtain his goal.
But months become quarters, and it leads to years, and nothing happens.
There are not even rumours of a promotion or a salary bump. To outsiders, it feels like he is betrayed. Such a high-performing employee needs to be rewarded.
This is a common story that circulates among us, and worst, it has become a norm in almost every workplace. If Simon were to offer his resignation letter, suddenly, there would be room for a promotion and a salary raise.
We will explore how Simon can take control of his career. As much as the company holds the final say on your promotion, Simon is the one who owns and controls himself.
He decides how to react in such situations and what actions he can proactively take. Importantly, he is the owner of his own self.
